Today we were discussing on a topic and stating why we should do it, also we have created a table for our diary and sent an invitation to Mr Nixon on Wikispaces.
Thanks for the invite.
13/8/09
We finalized our topic and it is on "Overpopulation," Also we made our titles and done most of our Knowledge Saturation.
I like your titles boys. Well done. Looking forward to seeing you assignment develop.
16/08/09
We added comments and more information to our Knowledge Saturation and added a new question to our Big Concept.
A good knowledge saturation page. You have put some thought into it. I was hoping for comments on more stuff that we have covered in class like the 'Inconvenient Truth' movie. It would be interesting to hear your views on it.
19/8/09
We did our questions and typed them out on computer.
Some great questions there boys. It is good to see that you have put some thought into them and it has made a good foundation for a good assignment. keep the good work up.
20/8/09
We are writing our Hypothesise for our questions that we thought of and typed on Essential Questions and also adding more information to our Knowledge Saturation.
Remember that you have to answer these questions so try and make them something that you would be interested in researching.
24/8/09
Trying to make a logo, and still writing our Hypothesise, will finish it soon.
Great logo. Don't spend too much time on this. Your hypothesis page is more important. You need to get this done by this Friday(28th)
26/8/09
We have finished or hypothesis and starting to do our investigation.
29/8/09
We are doing our our investigation and have found some information.
INVESTIGATE-Now you are ready to answer your essential questions in depth. Don't just copy and paste the information you find. You need to try and write it in your own words. That will require drafting and editing it so it is what you want to say. Remember to reference any information that you quote directly.

We have changed our copy and pasted version of answers and added some stuff of our own words to it. Also researching more info at libraries etc.
You have thought about your questions and answered them. I think you could have answered them in a lot more depth. It seems that you have just rushed through and not really thought about the question. Make sure your work is the best that you can produce. You have written down some of your sources. Are these all of them? Maybe draft things out before you enter it here as then you can reflect on what you have done and edit it accordingly. You are now ready to look at the thinking hats and present your findings to the class. I expect a big effort here boys!!!!
10/9/09
We answered some more of our Essential questions and will finish by tomorrow.
12/09/09
We have made a short slideshow about overpopulation and out it on our investigation wikispaces page
Please proof read. Your wiki is your final copy eg "Overpopulation will in infect us a lot if our country has become overpopulated. Overpopulation can cause water shortage , food shortage." Why will it cause water shortage? More depth please!
15/9/09
We have started to do our thinking deeper page.
18/9/09
WE have decided to do a quiz show on overpopulation.
You are developing an awareness of social issues related to the concept of overpopulation. You needed assistance with making the connection about how this connected with global issues and a wider concept. You attempted to plan and deliver a presentation on the topic, but it lacked thought and quality. All a little to rushed. Much assistance was needed to think critically about the issues raised and didn’t really plan an action to make an impact in your immediate community. Your grade would have been higher if you had completed a So What.
Final Grade 2 = Developing
